Lim Seong-min, 55, “Lost 8kg and maintaining the weight”… Is it thanks to this exercise he does regularly?

Announcer-turned-broadcaster Lim Seong-min (55) revealed the secret to maintaining his 8kg weight loss after a successful diet.

 

On the 20th, Lim Sung-min shared his marriage and diet success story on TV Chosun's "Perfect Life." Lim revealed that he successfully lost 8kg through dieting in his 40s. He said that he gained 8kg in just one year after getting married 13 years ago. Lim Sung-min stated, "Starving myself to lose weight was only possible when I was younger," and added, "I lack the stamina (now)." He continued, "I lost the weight by consistently exercising and adjusting my eating habits, which took about a year and a half."

 

  Afterwards, Lim Seong-min introduced ballet, which he has been doing for four years since 2020. He said, “I used to do leg splits back and forth until I was in my 30s, but after that, aging came (and it became difficult).” In response, internal medicine specialist Ahn Hyeong-jin said, “It is difficult to burn calories in a short period of time with static exercises such as ballet or yoga, but

 

"Because it uses muscles that aren't often used in daily life, it helps to shape the body and make it more attractive," she said. "It can also help you grow taller." So, what exactly does ballet do for our bodies?

Ballet helps to shape your body while dieting. Ballet is effective in correcting curved spine and neck. This is because ballet evenly engages muscles like the inner thighs and lower back, which are not normally used. Furthermore, the up-and-down movement relaxes the muscles and straightens the knee joints. Unlike weight training, which focuses on building muscle mass, ballet strengthens the inner muscles, helping to shape the body line. You may even discover your hidden height during this process. Naturally, your core and abdominal muscles will also be strengthened, creating a toned physique.

 

Ballet movements help correct poor posture, such as forward head posture and hunched back, and prevent herniated discs in the lower back and neck. Office workers who sit at their desks all day or those with poor posture often suffer from spinal curvature and pelvic misalignment, which can benefit from corrective action. Ballet improves blood circulation and is also beneficial for relieving lower body swelling. This is because the movement, which involves supporting the entire body on the toes, engages the deep muscles of the lower body. This process strengthens the buttocks and sphincter muscles, maintaining the buttocks line and preventing urinary incontinence and other female disorders.

 

However, before learning ballet, you must first assess your physical condition. Beginning ballet with insufficient strength will not only prevent you from performing proper movements, but it can also place excessive stress on specific areas like the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back, potentially leading to injury. Areas where strength is particularly weak require balance. Avoid performing difficult movements without proper preparation. Insufficient flexibility and strength can lead to poor posture and injury.

The awkward postures are also hard on the spine.
